The Appeal........

I have been trying to force myselfto read books again but to no avail.The best that I can do is to check the websiteof the country's largest bookstorejust to have a feel of the books that are doing well in the domestic market.For lazy people like me, the easiest thingto do is browse for some local bestsellersthen try to expand the research toinclude other printed materials that this world could offer.( there is really a lot to cover)

As expected, the usual names, Grisham, Coelho and Johanna Lindsey are in the list. It was interesting to note though that THE APPEAL, the latest book of John Grisham is not yet hitting the stores in big numbers. So I decided to put a simple profile and synopsis of this book for myself and for those who are also trying to rekindl;e their passion for reading....

Synopsis: In his latest legal thriller, novelist Grisham takes a hard look at a subject as current as today's headlines: how elections can be bought. When a Mississippi court hands New York-based Krane Chemical a costly verdict over toxic pollution, the corporation sets out to shield itself from future lawsuits by rigging an election to place its own candidate on the Mississippi Supreme Court. In "The Appeal," Grisham reveals just how easily truth can be twisted, politics subverted, and voters manipulated for private benefit and public detriment.
